PROJECT BACKGROUND
Fraudulent social media accounts based off The Block employees have consistently misled users.
Multiple instances of The Block's users being misled by fake social media accounts have been reported. Prior to this project, there was no easy way for a non-Block employee to double check if an account was actually associated with The Block. Product Managers became aware of this problem when it started to affect multiple departments, not just news and research, prompting a more general approach to solving this issue.
